State religious body cannot intervene in custody, says Loh’s lawyer

GEORGE TOWN: The attempt by the Perlis Islamic religious authority to use the court process to be part of the lives of Loh Siew Hong’s children is likely to prove futile.

Loh’s divorce lawyer, Rajashree Suppiah, said under existing laws, a third party cannot seek any court order regarding the children in a divorce proceeding.

Earlier, the Perlis Islamic religious and Malay customs council (MAIPs) revealed that it had applied to intervene in a divorce petition between Loh and her ex-husband, Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy.
